Sunnah. Being occupied in gaining worldly wealth we have forgot that Muslims are brother to one another; we have forgot that real Muslims help one another in trouble; we have also forgot that a real Muslim helps his ill, poor and afflicted Muslim brother. Today we are in such a terrible condition that love between real brothers and sisters is also decreasing. For example, if one brother is at deathbed, his other brother does not go to meet him on the basis of old disputes and quarrels. In the past, if two people quarrel due to any reason, the third one used to make them understand with gentleness and reconcile them.

Visiting a patient to inquire after him does not lessen his suffering, but it surely gives him pleasure. Thus not only should we go to inquire after our relatives, but we should also go to inquire after other patients in the hospitals and homes because at times, there are such afflicted patients who are not inquired after by anyone. Such miserable patients look at others wistfully. They wish that if only anyone could also come to inquire after their health, treat them sympathetically and make Du’a for their recovery. On such occasions or we get an opportunity, we should fix one day and go to
